Delta has better customer service. It’s sad because American Airlines is a legacy and Delta just out paces them when it comes to service

I'm Delta Diamond ad they have treated me well over the years. But the recent changes to the program, and the extremely high redemption values on Delta will mean I will migrate to other airlines in 2024. But it has been a good ride.

As others have said, it's really sad that Delta decimated their rewards program. That said, the actual experience with Delta is always head and shoulders above both United and American. So, if your only goals is points/rewards, then perhaps fly American. However, if you actually want to be treated with a modicum of dignity while at the airport and in the air, then Delta remains a worthy choice.

Does Delta still have entertainment screens? I hate that American removed those!

Delta Diamond saying goodbye at the end of this year. I’ll still fly with them a few times next year. Inaugural flights and such.

So delta is just better cheaper to get status and better for same benefits
Especially sense all I really care about is maybe silver status which is simple to get with 2 delta cards

I’m a huge fan of Delta but dislike what’s happening with their relationship with Amex. I do NOT want to fly AA or United. They’re both horrible airlines.

Delta is better but it depends where you live

My friend.. You shouldn't compare them at all, American is one of the companies that cancel flights for everything, I stopped flying American a long time ago and I switched to Delta and I don't regret anything, and another thing, Delta's customer service leaves far far back to customer service of American

Both of these airlines are overpriced, and extremely expensive for no reason
